The Other Malfoy {Marauders Era}

The Problem With Admirers

     "So beautiful, what's your name?" The boy across from Aquila asked. She rolled her eyes and ignored him. He didn't get the message- he continued to talk. "Hey, did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?"

     "No, but it hurt when I crawled up from Hell." She retorted, still not looking at him.

     "Ooh, we've got a feisty one here. I'm Theodore Nott, though my admirers call me Theo." He introduced.

     "I don't care what your name is. Stop talking to me, because I obviously don't want to talk to you. So kindly shut up please." She snapped, finally looking him in the eyes. Theo grinned like he had just won the quidditch world cup.

      "My princess finally looks at me! And my, what pretty eyes she has." He smirked, and Aquila frowned at him. She glanced at Draco but he was busy trying not to kill the girl who sat across from him. She tapped his arm.

     "Switch spots with me, please. This boy is killing me," Aquila pleaded when he turned to look at her.

     "Gladly. This girl is killing me! Do I have permission to kill them both?" He asks in all seriousness.

     "Yes, but wait until we're alone- I don't want you to get caught... there's too many witnesses." Aquila smiled and they switched seats. She looked at the girl across from her, who looked absolutely livid that Draco had left.

     "Who do you think you are, separating me and Drakey like that?!" She screeched with a defiant look in her eyes, and Aquila tried not to punch her in the throat from how high pitched she was.

     "Nice to meet you too," she mumbled. "I'm his sister, and he hates you. So just shut up pugface." Aquila told her calmly and watched as her face lose all it's defiance and was replaced by shock and anger.

     "T-there's two of you?! And my name's not pugface..." She murmured. Aquila looked at her.

     "Excuse me pugface, did you say something?" She asked her. Pugface quickly shook her head, and Aquila smirked. "That's what I thought. So shut up before I throw you to the giant squid." Her eyes widened and she cautiously looked over the side of the boat.

     "Drakey, save me! Your demented sister is threatening me!" She shrieked. Aquila rolled my eyes.

     "Pugface, 'Drakey's' ignoring you, so I suggest you shut up before I push you off this boat and feed you to the giant squid." She sneered and she immediately closed her mouth and her lips quivered with fear. Aquila smiled and winked at Draco, and he did the same. Victorious to the end, just like a true Malfoy. She looked at Theo who sat across from him, and he winked at her. Aquila glowered at him with such intensity that he visibly flinched and looked away quickly. She smirked with victory and gave Draco a high five.

      "So Drakey, are you excited?" Aquila drawled, and he glared playfully at her.

     "I am, princess." Aquila gave him a look and he gestured to Theo, who had a smug smile playing on his lips.

     "That desperate prick."

     "Tell me about it. And guess what- he thinks he'll get into Slytherin! How funny is that?" She choked on her spit.

     "No way- Slytherin? That's hilarious! He'll probably be a Hufflepuff- but only barely!" She snickered, and Theo shot her a glare.

      "I know, I thought the same thing!" Aquila snorted and Pansy decided to speak up.

      "I want to be in Slytherin too." She said, her high-pitched voice wiping the smiles off Aquila and Draco's faces.

     "Lookie here, Draco- everyone wants to be in Slytherin!" She snickered and Draco cracked a smile.
